Amazing views, serene atmosphere, wonderful tour guide. The tour was well paced so that we could take our time and photos, and enjoy the Canyon as well.

Great driver, great scenery and zero crowds! The private slot canyon is perfect for senior tourists as the close quarters are problematic with big crowds. Same for the Horeshoe Bend overlook. The view was almost identical to the public one but there were nine people at our overlook. Our driver, Nicole, was fun, informative and friendly. She was a skillful driver and an exceptional photographer. Keeping nine tourists with differing skill levels and interests corralled is like hearing cats! She did a great job.

Explore the stunning Secret Antelope Canyon on a guided small-group tour and get private access to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook for a more intimate experience.

Walk through one of the longest slot canyons in the Navajo Nation, surrounded by breathtaking sandstone formations, perfect for photography.

Enjoy a private viewpoint of Horseshoe Bend that overlooks the winding paths of the Colorado River, and avoid the crowds you would find at the public viewing area.

Travel off-road in a shaded 4x4 tour vehicle or an enclosed van, followed by a nature trail to the canyon entrance, adding adventure to your journey as you traverse the rugged landscape.

Enjoy a more personal and intimate experience in a small group setting as you listen to the insights about the canyon's history and cultural significance from your Navajo guide.

We had a great tour. I loved the close yo the Canyon transportation. I really liked the small group experience. Our guide was very friendly and played the Indian flute for us in the Canyon!
